I've been leading a second Gesture Drawing Class supplementary to Alex's. I'm not as experienced as Alex or Louis or Tom Gately but it's a beginners class and allows me to draw with folk from other departments and learn with them.
There's nothing like teaching to force one to distill and condense drawing principals & technique.
These are some of the notes I made in class-basic tips and tricks to strengthen drawings.
And some fun stuff from the sessions . . .

you're prolly a GREAT teacher, mj - gesture drawing appears to come so naturally to you and what better person to help the rest of us students decode it all, in a really smart and fun way?
love "the nose indicates direction!"

Flexipeople! I really like the dancer from Hawai.Are these drawings real people to you or more like shortcuts?
Thanks folks.
Stef- the class is small and as usual with these things numbers drop off a few weeks into it.
Rosie-Good question! I guess they're short cuts but real in my imagination!

Good work. I think Blah Blah Waffle Blab sounds like a cool character name :D
